Brush Strip door seals are a popular option for sealing your garage door. The fitting for this seal is slightly more complicated than floor seals, for example, but we will try to make it simple for you. Firstly, you will need to measure the length of your garage door. Don’t assume or guess that it will fit, always go by exact measurements. Remember that the brush strip is fitted on the inside of the garage door, not the outside.
The brush strip will usually come with pre-drilled holes in the aluminium carrier. You and a helper (preferably) will need to position your brush strip in line at the bottom of the garage door, allowing the brush to drape over. Once you are happy with the positioning, mark through the pre-drilled holes (some may not be pre-drilled, so you will need to do this beforehand yourself) with a pencil then drill through the holes into the garage door - using a 2.5mm drill bit. A clamp or tape can help you to hold everything in place. From there, you can fix the screws provided using a cordless drill or screwdriver. Check the door shuts right; if the bristles are too long, they can be cut to suit.
It’s a as simple as that. The key elements for getting it right is to not guess or rush anything. Do your measurements, line up nicely and get a helping hand!
Check out our brief step by step diagrams below to make sure you understand. Or give us a call, we’d be happy to help!

Select the best position to fix the seal to the bottom inside edge of the door. Pre-drill fixing holes into the aluminium seal carrier if required.
Secure the brush strip carrier for drilling with clamps or strong tape. Having an extra set of hands makes this much easier.
Once the brush strip is positioned, mark the screw holes using a pencil. Reuse existing holes or create your own with a 2.5mm drill bit.
Fix the included self-tapping screws with a screwdriver or drill. Once secure, remove any clamps.
Finally, ensure your garage door closes properly then trim any excess seal if needed.
